A heteroduplex analysis of four related transposable phages--B3, PM57, PM62, and Hw12--of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa B3 group was performed. Heteroduplex structures, restriction maps, and data on DNA-DNA hybridization obtained upon hybridization of phage DNA restriction fragments with labeled probes representing different regions of the phage genomes are in good agreement. The data obtained strongly confirmed the recombinational origin of the analyzed phages. Thus, all natural transposable phages of P. aeruginosa, including phages from both group B3 and species D3112, were shown to have a recombinational origin.

: Transposable elements (TEs) and noncoding sequences are major components of the genome, yet their functional contributions to long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are not well understood. Although many lncRNAs originating from TEs (TE-lncRNAs) have been identified across various organisms, their characteristics and regulatory roles, particularly in insects, remain largely unexplored. This study integrated multi-omics data to investigate TE-lncRNAs in , focusing on the influence of transposons across different omics levels.

Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) is critical for early embryo development and is meticulously regulated by epigenetic modifications. H3K4me3 is a transcription-permissive histone mark preferentially found at promoters, but its distribution across genome features remains incompletely understood. In this study, we investigated the genome-wide enrichment of H3K4me3 during early embryo development and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in both sheep and mice.

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are genomic fragments integrated into human DNA from germline infections by exogenous retroviruses that threatened primates early in their evolution and are inherited vertically in the germline. So far, HERVs have been studied in the context of extensive immunopathogenic, neuropathogenic and even oncogenic effects within their host. In particular, in our paper, we elaborate on the aspects related to the possible correlation of transposable HERV elements' activation and SARS-CoV-2 spike protein's presence in cells of COVID-19 patients or upon COVID-19 vaccination with implications for natural and adaptive immunity.

Symbioses are major drivers of organismal diversification and phenotypic innovation. However, how long-term symbioses shape whole genome evolution in metazoans is still underexplored. Here, we use a giant clam (Tridacna maxima) genome to demonstrate how symbiosis has left complex signatures in an animal's genome.
